coming off the offramp to Poydras at Claiborne, they have the lanes divided where the right lane forces you to turn right while the left funnels into 1 lane by the dome, add in the light by the dome arent working, creates a ton more traffic
Hard to see but the canopy is being built off the front of the Hotel
Poydras/Convention entrance is still not open, concrete needs to be poured, some paint and finish work but its close though
Samir is on vacation but I talked with another higher up and Canal street smoking section mystery solved.
they are redoing the floor as its too slippery, thats why the gates come down. the "Glass" on there now is actually plastic and looks like they were closing it in, turns out they are just sealing it up because they were getting too much dust inside and it was interfering with the new floor coating. told them they could have used a roll of plastic, would have been way, way cheaper
was scheduled to open 3 weeks ago, so hopefully its open soon
and also, it cost a fortune, but they are now showing the UFC and boxing fights at the Sportsbook. because they go by how many people the building can hold, the price for businesses increases, it cost around $180k to broadcast each PPV fight
